4 Ears of corn
2 tbsp Olive oil butter or avocado oil
Salt to taste

Instructions

Prepare the corn: Remove the outer leaves and silk threads from each ear of corn. Rinse under cool water and pat them dry. If the ears are too large to fit in the grill pan, cut them in half.
2. Preheat the grill pan: Place the grill pan on the stove over medium-high heat. Let it heat up for a few minutes until very hot. You can test the heat by flicking a drop of water onto the pan—if it sizzles immediately and evaporates, it’s ready.
3. Oil the corn: Brush each ear of corn with a light coating of olive oil or melted butter. This helps prevent sticking and encourages caramelization, giving you those beautiful sear marks.
4. Grill the corn: Place the corn on the hot grill pan. Use tongs to turn the corn every 2 to 3 minutes, allowing each side to get nice grill marks and a bit of char. The total cooking time will be around 10 minutes, depending on the heat of your grill and the size of the corn.
5. Season and serve
